My first boss back when I was 17 was a weird dude. You'd ask him a question and he'd just sort of sit there, face unchanged, while he gathered his thoughts to say what he was going to say. It was odd, though, because sometimes he'd take what seemed like 30 seconds before he'd say anything. I'd be about ready to walk away or start doing something else when he'd finally start to speak.

But I've had times when I wished I had taken 30 seconds to respond, and some times have somebody take 30 seconds before they responded to me. So I guess it's not all bad.
